Rise in Enrollment in Medical Schools and Medical Technology schools

Some colleges offering medical and allied medical courses have started their classes and many students can be seen rushing to their respective colleges.

One noticeable trend in local schools is the rise of medical school and medical technology enrollment. This may be due to the decrease in opportunities for nursing jobs abroad.

One college offering medical technology for example went from having single-digit number of sections to about 15 sections.

Meanwhile medical schools are also experiencing a resurgence in enrollment. There are even a few international medical students. Are more nursing graduates deciding also to enter medical school since they can hardly get a job opening abroad?

One thing's for sure. It will be a busy year for teachers of these schools.

About this Blog

Back in our medical school days, our school had this sampaloc, sambag or tamarind tree where under it, medical and even other allied medical students used to sit down, talk with their friends and relax under the shade.

This blog was created to serve as a "sampaloc/sambag tree", a virtual hangout for students most especially from the medical and allied medical courses to get tips, useful links, relevant news or information from a wide array of topics from education, technology, sports, movies and many more.
